PUBLICITY:— (Prom Marion Deader Tribune) The I.euder-Trlbuue believes it has given a great deal of space to every worthy cause. The Leader-Tribune considers it a privilege to have this opportunity. But there come times when it is necessary to differentiate between just publicity, and that which is unjust or unreasonable. We believe it is the duly of every newspaper to promote worth-while activities which concern the community. But there is a place to draw the line. It must be remembered that a newspaper’s only income, outside of the money received from circulation which does not pay the cost of the white paper —comes from advertising. It would be impossible to publish the Leader-Tribune or any daily newspaper but for the support received from the advertisers. We often wonder whether people fully appreciate that this is true. The paper prospers or declines in accordance with the advertising income. One of the reasons for the remarkable development of the American newspaper today, its wide extension, comes from the increased use of advertising space. Business men realize they have little chance to succeed against their competitors without a liberal use of newspaper space. They may have a line stock of goods, hut it will. remain unsold on the shelves unless j the message of its worth is sent to the people through the press. And so it is that the advertisers of every kind help the newspaper, and the newspaper helps the advertisers. But there is growing everywhere continuous demands for free publicity of a character which is strictly advertising. It can be called nothing else, and it should lie paid for at advertising rate s. We admit it is hard to lay down a principle which may apply in all cases, but it cannot lie denied there is at present a very great abuse of the newspaper courtesy. The average citizen who has an article to sell is not expected to give that article away. Then why, since the newspaper’s commodity is its ad- J vertising columns, should it be ex-, petted to give away its onfly source r of income? Is there not reason 1 enough for some consideration of this question? The unexpected death of Councilman George Miller shocked this community this morning and on every Wil is heard sincerest regrets that this popular and able young man Should be called from his duties when the future seemed so bi*ight and when "his services were needed. He was a business man of ability, a citizen of high repute, a husband and father, respected by all who knew him and loved by those who knew him best. He was elected a cou»eilman-at-large in the election last November, leading the entire ticket and since assum ing his place on the city board last January has proven a valuable member, willing to serve and wth a keen knowledge of affairs, good judgment and the interest of all the people in mind, Mr. Miller was proving a splendid man for bis place. We extend to the members of his family the sympathies of this entire com'm unity. Seven young men, aged about eighteen and nineteen, neat in appearance, who thought they could

Judge Wood promptly sentenced them to terms In prison of from ten to twenty-live years. Its a serious lesson which should go a long ways towards teaching other young men that after all the only way to really live and enjoy life and freedom is to go tile honest way. These boys could have no doubt succeeded along the straight path. Now they and their relatives and friends must 'suffer. Boys, it doesn't pay.

He saki ’President Coolidge was alright but too much so and that he would like to see hfm "half soused" once. He told of the troubles of a president and said if he ever got the job and his cabinet got the habit of resigning he “would carry a couple of spares behind." He sold Florida real estate, joshed about every body and every thing in the universe and became as he does wherever he appears, the popular platform star. While the reduction of expense is commendable, those people on the rural routes of Adams county who are affected will wait to see whether • they are inconvenienced in any way before offering too much praise of the •recent change which does away with six of the routes and adds patrons to lhe other carriers.
